14 Pitches and 14 Rappels / Absolute Serenity Now / A PNW Adventure Climb
Rising above the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River in beautiful Washington State is a newly developed 14 pitch climbing route: Absolute Serenity Now. On September 21st, 2024, Po, Alex, and I set off to experience this excellent adventure, but be warned, don't try this one at home unless you have an 80 meter rope.
Note: This climb is not currently on Mountain Project, and also may have significant rockfall objective hazards.

    Ropes are cheating as far as I’m concerned. If you need a rope and an anchor drilled into rock, you shouldn’t be up there anyway.

    Very good progress for the FIRST EVER Skiing on these new ski's and a completely new terrain for him! Though the Kicker is tooo steep for him to first ever jump it without knowing how to! Make a little rocker so he can ACTUALLY pop OF the rocker, instead of him just "sliding" of the kicker and hope for good luck. It's always better to make the perfect pop of a rocker so you ALWAYS have the best control in the air, that's actually the only way to "jump" a Kicker or a rocker or even a little sidehit so u can just land perpendicular to the hill/slope. Backseat on ski's and not popping off the skis are the only main reasons for not landing a jump because you don't actually "jump" of the kicker. Take an example: Someone is ripping the ground away under your feet, you immediately fall uncontrollably and make a manuover called "arm swerving" like a chicken to "kind of" mantain control of your fall but will not have controll over it. Now let's say BEFORE someone rips the ground away you JUMP of the ground then land after the ground got rippen away. You'll land smoothly and more controlled on your feet /(skis) rather than falling and take a Snow hit (i like fresh snow in my face though nothing against it hahaha.) Take this as Advice and not me being mean and saying "you need to do that and that" It's still the best to find out your own way of doing it and conquer your fears, but making the Objects and surroundings around you easier CAN lessen the fear and boost confidence :) Although the video was still so enjoyable to watch and i wish Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

    • @SimonHokesen
      @SimonHokesen Рік тому

      Thank you for the detailed advice and happy holidays to you as well! Next time we do a jump day I’ll be sure to focus on staying forwards (out of the backseat) and popping at the right time! I’ve already learned so much just watching the footage we got and I can’t wait to keep going!
